My neighborhood is invaded by people who have no sense of community and sharing. Yesterday was the outdoor flea market, and the weather was evil. Windy and rainy. Visitor count was low and everybody looked like they had sucked lemons. Some had moved the fleas out of the rain and into the gates leading into the fenced off backyards. I stood at the entrance and looked in, just to see what was hidden behind all these houses. A woman yelled at me: "Excuse me! HELLO!" "This is private property, please respect that." "I am just looking, is it causing you any harm?" "It is causing the co-op board harm!" Seriously? This is no different that the bullies at Folkets Park, yelling at you to get out.

It makes me sick to my stomach that my cosy hood is swarmed with these people. They lived here for five minutes, bought a share in an apartment, and now they feel in their right to scold the neighbors for even glancing at their garden. Yuck!

Maybe they don't want you to know the colour of the underwear hanging from the lines or how many wine bottles are in the recycling bins.... top secret, you know. It would spoil all of their "co-op" plans for taking over Nørrebro. Geesh! Some people should just take some valium... ;)We're in town- I'll email you.PS: My kids LOVED the fruit playpark at Bopa. We were there for a good hour yesterday. Priceless!

I agree with Bert, this is a cool title. I'm sorry you find this attitude in CPH. I was punched on purpose by a guy (in his late 50s?) while I was stading at the subway train door, waiting for him to get off the train. He came to me and punched. This was not a crazy looking or homeless person, just a regular guy. This makes me angry, this is the main reason why I don't like Paris, those people. They are so miserable they want everybody to be miserable, and in my case, they sometimes succeed. They bring the worst in me. Oh dear, I need to go back to yoga.

The Parisians are kind of rude too, I agree. But why would someone punch you, when you were making room for him? And you being a woman? Uncool.

I only tried yoga once, and it did the opposite for me, than everyone else. Liiiiisten to your heart, block all other sounds. As IF. For me, getting the pulse up works much better. Most idiots become invisible that way, at least right afterwards. Ah.

We love Copenhagen so expect us to be biased. We hug trees, and we love street art, flea markets, old cars and new ideas. We go everywhere by bike, and nowhere without a camera. We worship freedom of speech and believe in democracy, but we have long since lost faith in our politicians. Me and my big mouth.
